An Azur Air Boeing 757-200, registration VQ-BKF performing flight ZF-698 from Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt) to Chelyabinsk (Russia) with 235 passengers and 8 crew, was enroute at FL360 about 40 minutes into the flight when the crew received a slat mismatch indication and noticed a discrepancy between the flaps lever and the slat position indication.

While on approach to Chelyabinsk, upon selection of flaps 1, the crew received "LE SLAT ASYM" message, performed the related checklist and computer the necessary landing distance, and landed on Chelyabinsk's runway 09 at a higher than normal speed with flaps at 20 degrees.
